Exhaust extension on my 50

If I added on a muffler extension (like the kind you find at auto zone) would the extension reduce the amount of exhaust thrown back into my face at the driver's seat? The extension would probably add an additional 1.5 feet past the muffler. Would there be any engine implications with back pressure etc?? Has anyone ever done this? I am just tired of smelling like exhaust every time I use my tractor. I also find it hard to breath after running it a while. Thanks for any input on this.

Sometimes I used to just temporarily stick a piece of rain gutter downspout on the exhaust to take the gases up higher. It made a world of difference but I had to take it of before driving in the shed.

Tye Factory rear exhaust was available for your tractor.

I agree with Clooney. Watch out above you because if you snag the muffler on something from above the casting the muffler bolts to will break and it is some of the worst cast in the world to try to weld. I doubt very much if the tractor will be affected by any increased back pressure as long as the pipe is no smaller than the muffler outlet.

Tye, I believe you will find the majority of your problems to be the poor fit between the exhaust pipe and the inlet to the muffler. Every two cylinder I've ever had leaked exhaust gasses there and the engine fan compounds the problem by blowing the gasses in you face. An extension will help to some degree but if you have a leak at the muffler inlet the extension won't do much good. I believe this is a poor design on Mother Deere's part and I really don't have a good fix. Anyone out there have a good idea?

I had the same problem with the exhaust come out from under the hood. I used fiberglass insolation and a little Hightemp ATV to keep in place. Worked for me. only problem with this fix is the water will not drain out of the muffler if left out side, you will get a bath when you start her up.

Tye, an additional 1.5 feet of exhaust pipe after the muffler, of the same approximate size or larger, shouldn't cause any major problems or significant additional back pressure problem in my "opinion". This is NOT based on any gas flow or engineering analysis of any sort whatsoever, as I'm more qualified electrically than mechanically. I still think some exhaust will naturally drift back and down towards the operator, however. To reduce exhaust gases on the operator to a greater degree if it actually affects your breathing, it would have to be run out back and under the operator, but that gets to be a lot more pipe and bends and jury rigging than a simple vertical riser extension. I would suggest try the simple riser pipe first and resort to a home made out the rear exhaust only if it becomes a health issue. Good Luck, Ol John T

Tye, not a problem. It won't effect back pressure or engine operation. I have done what you want to do on Diesels to keep the smoke out of my face & it works well. You will have to be very careful not tangle the muffler extension in the trees, barn doors, or anything else that's low. You will have a devil of a time putting a can on it though.....
